Arthur B. Metzner Centennial Commemorative Issue
Arthur B Metzner
Manuscripts are invited on Rheology-related advances inspired, directly or indirectly, by the work of the late Arthur B. Metzner in experiments, theories, modeling and computation involving rheology and the behavior of complex fluids under flow.
Topics include:
- Polymer melts and solutions
- Liquid crystals
- Particulate and fiber suspensions
- Polymer processing
- Extensional flow
- Composite materials
- Flow through porous media

The Journal of Rheology is a vital resource for researchers working in fields as diverse as polymer physics and fluid mechanics. It presents experimental results, phenomenological models, and microscopic theories dealing with the rheological behavior of complex materials, including macromolecular, colloidal and particulate solids, and fluids. Application areas include foods, paints, plastics, lubricants, ceramics, coatings, glaciers, and biological fluids.
